stantly, Lilies greatest boon is the
enjoyment of good health No one

for the remedies which will restore
her wasted strength to the full per
lection which health alone can give

''While there is so much talk about our coast

have commander-in-chief for the infantry, one
for the cavalry and one for the artillery, in an en-
gagement, all equal in authority. Eng
land has recently of1ered the entire
charge OF her coast defenseS to the
navy, realizing that the two arms Of
her military service can't work satisfactorily to-
gether. The offer has been declined under the
